in a botanical sense, they are called spines and they are modified leaves. dissecting the anatomy of the cactus shows that the spines grow from a pad which would be the anatomical equivalent to the petiole.

needles, which are also modified leaves grow on conifers.
thorns grow on many plants and grow from the stem. these are modified branches.
